Ain't this the kit that allows you to put 10's on? I think it is!

If thats your aim then yes its the correct kit. Thats what the guys at Minisport said when I was up there the other day!

Depends what you want to do, and if you want to go to 10" wheels or not... which is normally the reason for going to alloy 4 pots...

but anyway... any one of these options will fit to your mini as it will replace the disks and calipers you already have.

:tongue: no!

Upgrading engine so need more stopping power, thought going 4pot was the best route.

if you just want to replace your clipers and keep your discs then try this!

clicky

they are available to fit any standard disc brake!

As for the full kit, it will not harm your braking by having the smaller vented disc's and it will give you the option to fit any size wheel instead of just 12" or 13"

I have them fitted on mine and they stop great!!

i want to go 4pot with better disks, not just my standard ones, is it not 7.5" for 10" wheels? think this is a good deal but wonder why they don't do them in 8.4"

It' OK but IMHO it is an expensive way of converting to Metro brakes. I would rather buy second hand and recondition to be honest.
